data for covid

so I am trying to build a power bi map viz for covid cases from any source which is "live"

 

1. Is there any website I can go to get info about all the US states including counties ?

2. If I find a .csv file somewhere, then its not live correct ? I have to keep on replacing the file to get the latest counts?

      Thanks amitchandak  , a very basic question, so what should be the source from GEt data (api endpoint ?)

       

      Is it one of the urls (source =web?), example attached ? I just need to know what should I choose to be source in the pbi desktop?

    Hi,

     

    I think I can help you.

    I suggest you visit the dataskills.co website. They have an interactive Power BI dashboard on Coronavirus. This will give you lots of ideas in terms of which visualisations to use. In my view the Forecast visualisation as well as the Slicer is very powerful in this instance. 

     

    Their data source is WHO.

     

    Kind regards
